Resumen
A team of researchers, led by Stanford University's Nick McKeown, has been given unprecedented access to Internet hardware and an opportunity to improve the Internet's security, reliability, energy efficiency, and pervasiveness. The Stanford team secured permission from major equipment vendors to write a small amount of code that grants access to the flow table. OpenFlow essentially offers direct access to the flow table to add and delete instructions. The Stanford team sees the potential to open up the airwaves, allowing portable devices to access any wireless network they can detect.
